The arrogant looks on the faces of those two deeply unselfaware men not realizing they have not scored a goal, but have instead humiliated themselves, is priceless.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

WARNING: Do NOT try this at home. Sen. Schmitt brought a poster board, a perjury trap & zero fact-checkers. Result? Atlanta Hawks ≠ Iowa Hawkeyes. Jack Smith was watching Caitlin Clark in Maryland. Lesson: Research first. Gloat second. Or you ARE the cautionary tale.

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

Black text that reads:

229 new affordable homes are coming to the Bronx.

We just broke ground on Sol on Park:
• 80 homes for current NYCHA residents
• 69 homes for formerly homeless seniors
• 79 homes for low- and middle-income seniors
• 8,000 sq. ft. of community space, including a health and wellness center 

This is what’s possible when we invest in NYCHA and use the power of government to build a City where New Yorkers come first.

Schmitt concocts an elaborate conspiracy all based on the premise that Smith must’ve been in ATL on a certain date because he was at a “Hawks” game that day but it wasn’t the Atlanta Hawks it was the Iowa Hawkeyes. His big gotcha moment made him look like a complete fool. bsky.app/profile/atru...

It’s difficult to overstate how dangerous such a declaration would be for American democracy. It would mean a president is attempting to sidestep the Constitution, which empowers states to run elections, in order to prevent his party from losing. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Could Trump take over voting by declaring a ‘national emergency’?
Advocates agree such an attempt would be blatantly unconstitutional but still worry that such an emergency order could suppress voting nonetheless.
